Chapter 010 Presentation
After acquiring some extra money, Lu Zhenyu rejected the original plan to rent a recording studio for producing audio clips. Instead, he purchased a set of entry-level professional equipment, which included everything from recording to mixing. He also bought a complete set of soundproofing devices and materials, taking a full month to create a small recording studio in the one-bedroom apartment he rented. By the time Lu Zhenyu produced his first set of audio samples with his own voice and began to implement the speech engine from the programming phase, it was already early December. Lu Zhenyu's bank savings had increased from less than 2,000 two months ago to nearly 200,000 now, and his small search engine was generating over 100,000 in income each month. However, on the surface, no one realized that Lu Zhenyu could barely be considered wealthy. He was so busy that he had no time to buy clothes for himself and was not in the mood to think about such matters. He continued to attend classes on time every day, having a student meal for 4 yuan in the cafeteria at noon, and occasionally visiting a small shop near the back gate of the school for a change. In terms of living expenses, the only expenditure that others could see at school was Lu Zhenyu's purchase of a decent bicycle. Everyone knew that Lu Zhenyu was also working as a tutor outside of school, so no one asked any further questions. After all, Lu Zhenyu was not the kind of person who was very popular at school.
This is a project I have been busy with recently. Around this summer, I basically completed a core program with quite good intelligent judgment. I have been thinking about how to apply this core to specific application software. I chose a voice platform, which involves not only the judgment from speech to text but also the reading from text to speech. So far, there have been no significant issues with input, but the reading aspect has not yet achieved an expressive delivery. However, the selection and control of voice tone, as well as the nuances of light and heavy reading, should be considered resolved. "Lü Zhenyu explained.

Until December 10, Saturday, after finishing the class for Su Wan, Lv Zhenyu invited Su Wan and Su Yunhai to a private room in a nearby tea house. Subsequently, Fang Zhiqiang, Lu Yin, and Jun'er arrived one after another. Once everyone had gathered, Lv Zhenyu took out a laptop from his backpack, set up a microphone and a pair of small speakers, and then said to everyone: "The reason for inviting you all here today is to share some good news: this intelligent voice platform has achieved preliminary results."
What voice platform? Su Wan and Su Yunhai had never heard Lv Zhenyu mention anything about this, so they were naturally at a loss.
So fast?" Fang Zhiqiang was taken aback. In the past, he had participated in similar development projects, where the entire project team consisted of dozens of people, working hard for a year without seeing any substantial results. Yet now, Lü Zhenyu was able to accomplish in less than two months what would require an entire team to achieve.
They played from the afternoon until evening, and everyone gradually moved away from their computers. Su Yunhai keenly sensed that Lu Zhenyu must have something to discuss with him regarding the library, otherwise, he wouldn't have called them, a father and daughter completely unrelated to this software, over. Su Yunhai smiled and asked, "Little Lu, now that this good thing has been created, what are you planning to do next? It would be a pity to keep it all to yourself at home."
Although Lu Zhenyu had some expectations regarding the performance of these individuals, it was evident that he had underestimated them. He brewed a pot of tea for himself and steeped it 4 times, yet it had no flavor. Nevertheless, those individuals remained gathered around the computer, cheerfully engaged in increasingly complex tests. The version currently installed on the laptop does not incorporate elements of emotional judgment; it is essentially a pure application software intelligence and knowledge core, representing a heartless variant of Xiaoyu. Otherwise, they would have protested long ago.

"Oh, what is the recognition rate of the program you are mentioning now?" Su Yunhai asked
Why not try it yourselves to find out? This platform now has not only the basic commonly used vocabulary but also two plugins: a business vocabulary database and a linguistics professional vocabulary database. Under normal circumstances, this should be sufficient
A crowd of people immediately tossed Lu Zhenyu aside and eagerly began testing the voice platform. This was the first demonstration of the voice platform, yet it did not disappoint anyone. Without exposing Xiaoyu, this voice platform was jointly developed by Lu Zhenyu and Xiaoyu. Its intelligence level is less than one-tenth of Xiaoyu's own, and the backend knowledge base and plugins were organized and compiled based on a frequency table, making it difficult to claim that it is comprehensive. Nevertheless, this voice platform still achieved over 99% accurate recognition of general language. The software has intelligent learning capabilities, but today, with several people taking turns inputting different voices, this learning was evidently not feasible.
After being busy for more than half a month, Lü Zhenyu finally managed to gather a small sum of money to upgrade his computer's hard drive and memory. Now, his machine has two hard drives, totaling a capacity of 500G, and three 1G memory sticks, which is the maximum supported by his motherboard. To handle audio-related tasks, he even purchased the best sound card available.
